About this forum

Similar to an “Asshole Design” gripe fest but with a specific focus on #enshitified websites. It’s also a discussion on how to improve your web UX.

  • crappy design candidates are also welcome here (we just call the community asshole design because that’s the most common scenario)
  • discussion of defense practices is encouraged - we are broader than just registering gripes. In fact, hopefully self-defense tips is the most common theme of the threads

Share your strategies for how to deshitify the web here (or at !disenshittify@lemmy.cafe)

RetroFed

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

  • Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)
